said Skiper Dixie Parker, of the
Martins, after the inter-squad
contest.
"Of course, there were many
flaws and miaplaya, but I was

so they could be corrected and
the weak spots ironed out," he
added.

box score, the Martins have the best
hitting team seen here in quite a
while, and should have a number of
league leaders.
"Hie mound corps surprised every
one as the rookies showed great
promise of becoming fine talent as
